Future Press recently reissued an expanded version of its highly sought-after official Bloodborne strategy guidebook, and it appears to be nearing a sell-out status, with Amazon's delivery window extending to November 19 as of October 22. The guide is already sold out directly from Future Press, so enthusiasts should consider securing a copy soon.

The Bloodborne Complete Edition Guide boasts 744 pages, approximately 200 pages more than the 2017 Collector's Edition Guide. This increase is due to the inclusion of The Old Hunters expansion, which previously had its own 224-page physical guide in 2015. The comprehensive guide covers everything needed to achieve 100% completion of both the base game and DLC, featuring concept art, an in-depth exploration of the lore of Yharnam, an interview with director Hidetaka Miyazaki, and a reference index for in-game lore.

Physical guidebooks are becoming rare, often turning into collector's items. Previous editions of this guide have seen exorbitant listings on eBay, and it's likely this edition will follow suit. From Software remains one of the few game studios consistently collaborating with book publishers on guides. Future Press released an official guide for the return of Armored Core last year, and fortunately, the Armored Core 6 Pilot's Manual is still available at regular prices. However, the first two volumes of Elden Ring's Books of Knowledge guidebook series have been sold out for months.

For those interested in more artwork, the Bloodborne Official Artworks, a 256-page paperback by Udon Entertainment, offers additional official artwork from From Software artists. Udon has also published art books for Elden Ring and Dark Souls. Several of these books are part of Amazon's buy one, get one free book sale until October 26.

Bloodborne also has an official graphic novel adaptation with six volumes. The first three volumes are available in a box set for $30 at Amazon or Target, with volumes 4-6 set to be bundled next year. Both sets qualify for Target's B1G1 50% off books promotion until October 26.

From Software's Dark Souls series has its own official graphic novel adaptation and a recently released manga. Elden Ring also has a manga adaptation, albeit a comedic one. These graphic novels and manga are eligible for Amazon's B1G1 50% off book sales this week.
